to emily bronte

          how sad for us if we are
stuck in the same form
          woman woman, man man
dog dog, cat cat - to never
          experience life as simple
as the wind or the moon
          as high - in the water there
is self: love in the form
          of 2 simple elegant elements
hydrogen and oxygen gently
          combined to exist inside and
outside and in between: if her
          death was meant to form a pattern
in my mind so i may reach a sense
          of what can be - i must doubt my
God to give woman such thought
